Tamiya A-1H Skyraider


Recommended Posts

After a battle with and stalling on the Fly 1/32 Wessex, moving condos which damaged the work on the Wessex I needed a nice subject to get the mojo back..

So what better than a Tamiya 1/48 A-1H skyraider completely out of the box.. No PE.. No resin.. No paper.. no fancy stuff just back to basics..

Paints from Mr Color (Mr Hobby) and Tamiya.. Grey was a mix as did not have the right colour

Excellent work there, very jealous of your view too... 

Seeing this makes me want to start on my Skyraider but I already have too much going on so it will need to wait.

Cracking Skyraider and cracking view!

 

Personally I would have just bypassed the four rotor whirlygig thing and just got the job done on the Douglas lol! :winkgrin:

 

Top build and finish

 

cheers

I like it too.

Keep them coming.

BTW, are there model shops in KL,

or do you have to go online for everything?

There are a few shops here that sell models and supplies. Also I use Hannants and the delivery has been good so far.

I will try and get back to the wessex sometime. Has been a difficult build and lots of parts broken during the move..  Next up is an A-7K Corsair II.

Nice Spad you have huild. Showing that OOB builds are great, without al the extras.

I think the Tamiya A-1 is excellent OOB.. No need for any aftermarket stuff..and a lovely kit which falls together so well..
